Our Visit

The flower photo wall is the first thing that catches your eyes when you enter. It's a great place to take photos in front of!

The overall interior here is made up of super cute pink and purple tones.

Before the class starts, they give you healthy tea as a welcome drink. While you drink tea, you will briefly listen to explanations on how today's class will go on.

They told us about a chemical ingredient called Paraben, which is a harmful ingredient that is in cosmetic products we use everyday. They then proceeded to explain the proper steps to take in order to take care of your skin!

All the ingredients that are used at Vic's Lab Korea are pure ingredients that have been rated as Grade 1 by EWG, which is a cosmetic ingredient analysis group in the USA, making me feel like I could trust the ingredients we would be using.

Next is a 1:1 consultation about your skin status with a professional. I made toners and serums that fit my skin. The consultation determined that I had dry cheeks and an oily T-zone, so the products I made are meant to take care of the excessive oils that my skin produces and had added ingredients that would help moisturize my skin.

If you pay an extra 10,000 KRW here, instead of purified water, you can upgrade to the 'galactomyces' substance, which is an ingredient included in the SK2 Pitera Essence product. Galactomyces is a yeast extracted from natural yeast that helps remove dead skin and other waste on the skin, making it soft and clean, as well as making it hydrated and elastic.

This is the final cosmetic product that fits perfectly to my skin! I wanted to use it right away!

I also made 2 lip balms that protect and keep your lips moist. It is made from natural oils, making it a perfectly safe way of protecting your lips. A professional helps you in making these products as well, so it isn't difficult at all to make!

Next, I got a personal color consultation to see which lip color would suit my skin tone best. The majority of the colors looked good on me, but the pink, purple, and bright orange colors looked best on me!

After choosing which color you want for your lipstick, you can make various combinations between the colors provided to find the color you like.

I made one by mixing the pink and mocha color, and another by mixing purple and red! It was really fun to be able to choose colors that best fit my face and mix the colors to find the one I liked the most!

While the lip stick is being made and hardened, you can choose the lip stick case. The transparent case that is provided as a basic case is cute, but if you want a more luxury case, you can upgrade your case with a small additional fee, which is what I chose to do.

You can choose from any of the cases above for an extra 3,000 KRW.

These cases cost 5,000 KRW each. They have really pretty flower designs that give a more traditional Korean feel to it!
